It's not the first good cause Sakho has got involved in off the pitch, he's been a regular at All Saints Primary School in Anfield and has his own charity AMSAK, which works with underprivileged kids in Africa, France and the UK.

And last night, after the Reds had come from behind to triumph 2-1 at Palace, Sakho went to the crowd to give his shirt to one lucky fan - cue chants of "Sakho, Sakho, Sakho" from the travelling Kop.
